The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne (2006)
Read: October 2012
I picked this book up at the CSA when their library was having a book sale. I was trying to be selective and so only bought two books from the sale at 5LE each. I picked this one out because, although it wasn't along our favoured theme of Egypt/Middle East/Travel, I had read a book by the same author over the summer.
The story follows Will, a reporter for the NY Times, who's wife gets kidnapped and the finds himself then trying to figure out a series of clues to find her - and, it turns out, stop the end of the world! It was a pretty good concept to be honest, and the grounding in Jewish tradition and folklaw seemed well based. I did also like the clues that he had to solve via text and computer and the chase of finding these around New York. My only problem with the book was that it felt like there was a significant section in the middle where Will was concentrating so much on solving the clues that he forgot that he was actually meant to be looking for his wife.
